This was my second time visiting Uncle Nearest, and it just confirmed why I gave them a 10. I…read morebrought my lady and her friends in from Cincinnati--one of them works for a distributor doing tastings--so we wanted them to get the full Uncle Nearest experience, especially since they don't get access to all the flavors back home. As always, everything was top tier. The staff was incredible, and Karen really stood out--she made the experience even more special. From the atmosphere to the tasting, Uncle Nearest never misses. Every visit feels like something you gotta share with people. That's why it's a 10 every time.

Visited the famous Nearest Green Distillery with my husband for our mini-moon on Valentines Day. We…read morevisited via "Tennessee Whiskey Tours". Upon arrival, the property itself was absolutely beautiful. The rich green colors, the open driveway, the art that could be visibly seen from the highway. Very gorgeous! The welcome center was clean and modern, displaying history of Nearest Green's lineage, facts about the art of distilling, display cases filled with tools from the original distillery/farm, as well as display cases for their world-renowned Tennessee Whiskey. The staff were all polite and welcoming. Our tour guide (forgot his name, but I have a picture of him!) was awesome! He was funny, personable, and very knowledgeable. He shared that he's been at NGD for the past 3 years and you could tell that he enjoys his job. The tour was great. The only downside was that half of the property was off-limits or non-operational at the moment. The time slot of our tour unfortunately occurred closer to closing time so we weren't able to check out their bar, Humble Baron. We did get to visit the speakeasy on the property and the area where they pour and bottle for the welcome center. It would've been fun to check out the stables to see all of the pretty horsies. Overall, it was a good experience. To visit a place filled with rich history, black history. Praying for the Nearest success for more opportunities to continue sharing the Green legacy.

He's so gentle and loved people(it's the neighbors dog) The Tour here was short but very educational and our tour guide was great and loved his humor and he truly knew his history and every small detail about Whiskey. Their outside area had benches and lawn chairs that made the place pretty chill. Love the vibes and they even had live music that was so relaxing to listen to while enjoying a drink. His voice was just magical. There are a lot of areas to take pictures and really enjoy the gorgeous scenery and green beauty. They have a nice little shop with some really fun stuff you can take home from Bottles, kitchen towels, bottles and fun Re-purposed glass bottles made into candles they have a lot of neat things.

The place was very rustic and cool with so many whiskeys to sample and a full up beer wall. After several years of wanting my favorite beer, I was in luck as Truck Stop Honey Brown Ale was on tap! Nothing compares to me as I love the beer and was able to enjoy it with my boss! Hoping for a return trip at the end of the month...

This tour was more expensive but included a souvenir photo, gift and the tasting of the select JD line. Our tour guide Jon T was fabulous. We have been to many distillery tours on this vacation and Jon was by far the BEST! Knowledgeable, personable and loves what he does! Since our last visit in 2015 most of the JD merch has been moved to the downtown area - shuttle bus provided. Spirits are available for sale at the distillery but in comparing prices to our local liquor store they were actually more expensive. One is made and sold only on site. Tennessee Rye whiskey finished in table syrup barrels at $44.75 Unfortunately we were not able to sample it so decided against purchase. VIsitor center was well laid out. great staff and wonderful exhibits. Lots of walking and stairs but they tell you that in advance. Also visited the Squire house next door - great staff and wonderful displays as well as merchandise specifically for Squires! Highly recommend a trip to JD Distillery!
